Leanne Marshall Spring 2016 Bridal Collection – Part I

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you the new bridal collection from Leanne Marshall, winner of Project Runway Season 5. And after years of designing custom bridal gowns, Leanne officially launched her signature bridal line in 2011. The Leanne Marshall Brand is a staple for the bride who wants a dress that will showcase, not overshadow, her beauty. Which I think is perfect for the tattooed bride of today – for the dress to compliment the beauty of her tattoos.

Below are the first four dresses, the other half of the collection will be featured on Marry Me Ink next week!

Wythe Slip & Wythe Dress

Essences – Beautiful Blush

Essences is back and today I get to share with you a blush colour palette that I’ve been mesmerised by for ages. I don’t wear pink myself but I do love blush wedding dresses.(There will be more to come in future Essences posts). All images I’ve found on Pinterest (seriously, get on it!) and all the links are at the bottom of the post. What other colours would you like to see?

A Wedmore Place Styled Elopement Shoot

Today I get to share a tattooed bride styled shoot that’s a bit different to what I’ve already featured on Marry Me Ink before. From Tiltawhirl Imagery, I bring you the tattooed bride elopement!

Our styled shoot began as a desire to show brides there were options

Wedmore Place is a European-inspired hotel on the grounds of the Williamsburg Winery. Every bit of a wedding can be customized so that you can be true to yourself. Don’t want to wear white… Don’t! Don’t want to carry a bouquet… Don’t! Want to elope… Do it! (But still hire a photographer!) We were also inspired by the hotel’s European flavorings and the open and inviting atmosphere of a smaller hotel, where people you have never met welcome you with open arms and invite you into their gatherings.

As with all of our shoots, we had a cinematic approach complete with storyline…

Once upon a time…

Having met while traveling the world, Henry and Antigone grew closer together with each and every passport stamp they collected. Realizing they soon would part ways and head to different lives in different countries, Henry asked for Antigone’s hand in marriage. Never wanting to have a single moment apart, the couple knew their elopement would be the start of their greatest adventure. The couple remembered a brochure they’d found in a small town a few stops back that would make for the perfect place to exchange vows. Arrangements were made and they set off. As soon as they saw the picturesque drive and the hotel that looked like a quaint castle nestled deep in wine vineyards, they knew this was a place they’d revisit over and over in their minds eye.
